BBC: DNA mutations followed by selection does not lead to new species!?!?

1 Citation
In an BBC article describing a Royal Society paper on the rate of mutation in warm vs. cooler climates, the BBC made this statement: DNA can mutate and change imperceptibly every time a cell divides and makes a copy of itself. But when one of these mutations causes a change that is advantageous for the animal - for example, rendering it resistant to a particular disease - it is often "selected for", or passed down to the next few generations of that same species. Such changes, which crea, technorati.com

 

Evolution faster when it?s warmer

1 Citation
READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE AT ?BBC NEWS? Climate could have a direct effect on the speed of ?molecular evolution? in mammals, according to a study. Researchers have found that, among pairs of mammals of the same species, the DNA of those living in warmer climates changes at a faster rate. These mutations ? where one letter of the DNA code is substituted for another ? are a first step in evolution. The study, reported in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, could help explai, technorati.com

 

Natural selection shakes a leg

Today I was a spectator at my daughter?s (not sports day) inter-school championships. Only the elite Key Stage 1 pupils were selected to attend (those being 6 & 7 year olds in case you were wondering). The setting, an athletics track with proper infield, was fine. What unfolded in front of us was somewhat bewildering, appearing to be the bastard one night stand progeny of The Krypton Factor and It?s a Knockout. Not a nick I would recommend incidentally. I spent an awful long time feeling s, technorati.com

From type I and type II errors to conspiracy theories

1 Citation
June 18, 2009in The Constant Learner Scientific America explores why so many of us readily subscribe to conspiracy theories and draw conclusions from questionable patterns.  It turns out we prefer type I over type II errors.When our ancestors still hunted in the woods, it?s better to assume that rattle came from a poisonous snake and run, than to take your chances and get bitten. As a result, natural selection favoured those that assumed all patterns were real.In other words, evolution hearted p, technorati.com

Gene Evolution Process Discovered

1 Citation
One of the mechanisms governing how our physical features and behavioural traits have evolved over centuries has been discovered by researchers at the University of Leeds.Darwin proposed that such traits are passed from a parent to their offspring, with natural selection favouring those that give the greatest advantage for survival, but did not have a scientific explanation for this process. In new research the Leeds team reports that a protein known as REST plays a central role in switching spe, technorati.com
